The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

I like to spend the little free time I have reading about American history and having my mind blown by all the things I don't know/fully understand. Not many people share this interest, so I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone would like to join a book club to talk about the various great books we read. Ideally, we would also organize day trips to any of the many, many local sites in the area. This is open to anyone and everyone, so I hope you'll take part if this sounds like something you wo …
